FAQs
What is the Civil Service Exam?
A wide variety of positions require the civil service exam. Postal workers, police officers, and air traffic controllers, and clerical workers are examples of positions that may require the exam. Many government entities are expanding who takes the exam. The ability to apply for government positions online has led to many government agencies using the civil service test to help discover the qualified candidates among the hundreds of resumes they receive.
What is on the exam?
The civil service exam will vary slightly depending on which government agency is administering the test and the position for which you are applying. It will typically contain a section on critical thinking, clerical skills, and math skills.
How do I register for the Civil Service exam?
Registration can be completed on your state government’s website.
